Nice, well made bag, but well - for starters you can get it for half the price on eBay.

I got the same bag off Gilt Groupe a couple years ago. I think it was around $60. Gilt has Jack Spade on a fairly regular basis. This bag, or something similar, is always included.

Seconded, I've had that exact bag for about 3 years now, use it about 75% of the time, and some of the stitching is only finally starting to come loose. I paid I think $90 for it.

I'm not on gilt and ebay has all these funky colors for cheap. Anything i'm interested in is used.

It is expensive!

I've had this bag for about 4 1/2 years now and paid full price. I believe I got every penny's worth out of it. I'm a bit bored with it so I'm looking for something leather and keeping this bag for rainy days. The only complaint is that the zippers on the side tend to eat the pocket lining very easily. I had to cut it out within the first year. Otherwise its a great sub-$200 bag. Damn thing is built like a tank.

I have one in olive canvas. +1 about the zippers and the build. I've had it for about 10 years and it's hardly showing signs of wear. I think it was $80 retail from Barneys or maybe the Kate Spade store. I'm sure you can find it for less if you look around a bit.
